Introduction
Keeping track of different entities is an important task and can be very useful for monitoring events. The project
[Miranda-Hill, W., Goetz, J. (2019, June 30 – July 4)] aims to prototype the functionality of a user-generated
geospatial meteorology map (for keeping track of temperature and pressure) based on low code interactive
framework [Butler, T., & Yank, K. (2017)]. This includes the design and implementation of a database driven
website with a public and a password protected admin component, in addition to a database, web server and

The Course and Faculty Management System is a full-stack web based application consisting of three main
components. The three components are the user interface, the server, and the database. The technology stack
currently used by Course and Faculty Management System is HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL.
Figure 1. Framework Logical Layers (FLL)
The framework logical layer (FLL) architecture consists of three functional layers (see Figure 1):
• User Interface, Presentation Layer (UI)
• Business Logical Layer (BLL)
• Data Access Layer (DAL)
The front-end, user interface (UI) layer of this application is to present web pages on the client side using HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript generated on the server side. The user interface allows users to view, add, update, and delete
data relating to courses and instructors. The components of the web application interface are dynamically created
using the template engine provided by the PHP framework. The application also includes a permissions-based
access system. The permissions system is used to generate and display only the relevant user interface elements
required by the active user.
The back-end, server components (BLL and DAL) of the application is coded in PHP. The server application is

built on a PHP framework. This framework provides methods to connect to a MySQL database and perform
Download full-text PDF Download citation Copy link
queries on the connected database. The server application performs calculations on data and also adds, deletes or
modifies data in the database. The system prevents malicious users from performing SQL injection to run
undesired code in the web application. The PHP framework provides a PHP routing system that allows the server
to handle GET, POST, and PUT requests. The framework is robust and flexible allowing a large variety of web
applications to be built with it.
The last component is a MySQL Server as its Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) but its
considered a third party application and not a logical layer [ Azma, H., Goetz, J. 2007]. RDBMS is used to store
data. The web application’s back-end connects to the database and interacts with it using SQL queries. The
foundation for this functionality is provided by the framework and expanded in the Course and Faculty
Management System.
The functional diagram in Figure 2 shows the admin user interaction with any admin web page.

Figure 2. The functional diagram shows the admin user interaction with the system.
User Interface Layer
The user interface uses HTML for the structure of the application’s pages, CSS for the styling and placement of
elements on the application, and JavaScript for dynamic elements within the application. The website conforms
to the [Web Design Best Practices Checklist (2023)].
Course and Faculty Management System has two main components, the public and admin components. The public
functionality and the main menu are shown in Figure 3. The user interface of Course and Faculty Management
System is designed as a dashboard to function as a menu.

All public entities such as courses, instructors and departments are only available to view and don’t have
interactions buttons such as add, edit or delete (see Figure 4 - 6).

Figure 7. The user registration page
The main page, after the user is authenticated, has buttons for each of the main entities: courses, instructors, and
departments. The user interface of Course and Faculty Management System consists of the following sections:
header, navigation side bar menu, main, and footer. The buttons on the main page navigate to a certain entity. The
functionality of each of the page changes based on the permissions of the logged in user. The just logged in user,
for the first time, doesn’t have ability to add, edit or delete any record for any entity (see Figure 4 -6). The super
admin user who has all permissions can change selectively all eight web page combinations of edit permissions
(see Edit Permission in Figure 22). Figures 9, 11 – 12, 14 – 16, 18, 20 - 21, 23 show all adding, editing and deleting
permissions. All pages are responsive to the display size of a smart phone, tablet and desktop.

The courses page also includes filters to allow users to quickly navigate the large dataset of courses. The main
portion of the courses page is dedicated to a table displaying courses and the courses’ attributes concisely. The
table also has pagination at the bottom to improve performance by reducing the amount of data that needs to be
loaded at a single point in time (see Figure 11). Under the courses table any errors or warnings (e.g. a time conflict
between the first row and the third row in Figure 12) that have been found by the system are displayed.

Management System (CFMS) which allows educational organizations to efficiently organize and manage their courses
and faculty. The basic goal of CFMS was to keep track of courses and faculty by managing (i.e., viewing, adding,
